It's me!!!
Hello everyone! If you haven’t figured it out already, I won’t be updating this blog. Perhaps sporadically I will write a quick note so you all know we’re still alive and well, but other than that this blog is pretty much abandoned until at least after December when Chad graduates-maybe longer.
Asa!Asa!Asa!
I’m so sorry to hear you broke your arm!! And bad enough to require surgery? Is that what you meant by good surgeons? I hope you are doing much better now. Someday we’ll have to hear how it happened, ect., ect. ect. I suppose that really puts a crimp on your arrival at your new station, or however the military says that. Anyway, get better fast!
General update
Chad and I are settled into Lakota. I still really like the small town atmosphere. And the 65-mile one way commute really isn’t too bad. I listen to books on tape, that makes the time go by faster.
The other night Chad was on a ride-along with our neighbor. (he‘s highway patrol and Chad is required to get 16 hours in before graduation) Chad was due back at 2 a.m. (he was actually home at 3) and I locked myself out of our apartment. I’d been home 10 minutes, changed and went out into the hallway barefoot to put a load of laundry in. So I went to our neighbor’s house, Maxine, (she‘s 90, I think, and I‘d met her before.) and she called our apartment manager. Since Sharon wasn’t home until later, I ended up sitting in Maxine’s apartment for 2 ½ - 3 hours until Sharon could come and let me in. Maxine fed me cookies and coffee and sent me home with garden tomatoes her niece had brought her. Thank goodness for small towns. (Don‘t worry, after this we are making an extra key!!!)
Chad’s classes seem to be going really good. I’m so proud of him! I tell everybody he’s in school to be a police officer. And he’s getting really good grades, 100 percent on some of his tests, about 90 percent or higher on the weekly percentage calculations so far. (next week is his fourth week of classes) If he gets below 70 percent any week, that’s failing, so the good grades are very important. He’s really enjoying his classes and I know he’s going to make a really good law enforcement officer.
Work for me is going good. We just switched from our summer hours, 7:30 to 5 M-Th and 8 to noon F, to our regular hours, 8 to 4:30. So I don’t have to wake up quite as early in the morning. But I’ve been still waking up with Chad mostly and getting some exercise in. Hopefully I can stick with that. And I’m learning more and more about ethanol and biodiesel all the time-I could bore you to tears with all I’ve learned. But it’s actually pretty interesting to me. I get paid to talk to people and learn, so that’s cool.
Well, like I said. I don’t plan to update this blog regularly until we have access to Internet at home again. I don’t check this blog at work, It’s just one of my personal rules. So later dudes!
